Sham and Genuine.


Sham jewelry may be worn for .
variety of reasons. If it is to give the
impression of wealth which the wearer
does not possess, then the practice is
wrong, but if the profession or career
of a husband requires that his wife
should go much into society on a small
income she would be perfectly justif-
able in wearing limitations to save
money. A smart and dressy appear
ance demands the use Of many little
knick-knacks and etceteras the fashion
Of which is constantly changing. For
instance, at present gold jewelry is
obsolete for evening wear, and, as a
lady scornfully. remarked to a poor
relative, You can wear nothing but
diamonds. = Under these circum-
stances it cannot be wrong for lady
who cannot afford to buy diamonds, and
has not inherited any. to wear
a moderate amount OF paste.
She should not, however, try
TO pass her ornaments off as diamonds,
nor speak Of her .,jewels" with an air
Of Importance which would lead people
to infer that she had any Of value

IT Is WONDERFUL

how easily rheumatism begins, and how
insidiously it grows in the system, until
one is startled to find himself its victim
in either the acute or chronic form. He
then learns the fearful tenacity of its
grip and the utter powerlessness of the
ordinary remedies to give relief.
Probably to no disease have physicians
given more study, and none has more
completely bafied their efforts to provide
a specific; and until Athlophoros was dis
covered there was no medicine which
would surely cure rheumatism, neuralgia
and nervous or sick headache. Thousands
of testimonials like the following prove
beyond question that Athlophoros is the
only,reliable remedy, and that it will do
all that is claimed for it.
......a Englewood, Kansas.
Athlophoros has done me more good than
all other medicine put together, for I was
great sufferer from rheumatism and neu-
ralgia, and can say to-day, I am free from
both complaints. MRS. MARIA STONE.
w. S. Hopkina, (179. C. Avenue, Cedar
Rapids, Iowa says: My wife and daugh-
ter were both stricken with inAammatory
rheumatism at the same time. The lower
limbs were much swollen; the pain seemed
much beyond endurance; sleep was out of
the question; they suffered SO much that
to move or even touch the sheet on the
bed would cause the most violent pain.
They were confined to the bed four weeks.
During that time and previous bought
many kinds of medicine, then I employed
physician, but nothing gave relief until
I heard of Athlophoros. I bought bottle
at once, and am glad to say in very short
time the swelling was reduced, the pain
gone, and they were entirely WELL"

third day one Of the savages left the camp
and the other fell asleep. Massey Har-.
bison then made her escape, after taking
from thestuff which they had stolen at
her house q dress for herself and child.
She first proceeded in a direction away
from her home. in order to mislead
them, then turning around walked as
rapidly as possible until 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, when her suferings from
fatigue and hunger compelled her to
rest until the next day She had
neither shoes nor stockings upon her
feet, which were terribly liberated and
bruised by thorns and rocks
In the evening OF the following day
the cries Of her child came near bring
ing about her rccapture. She crept in
to the tops of a fallen tree, and an In
dim passed SO near that she could hear
him every step. But the darkness be-
trlended her, and after the Indian had
gone she found another hiding place
mile or SO distant, and rested securely
until morning. On the fifth day Of
her sutferings she wandered in search
OF the Allegheny River, having lost her
course and being ignorant of her
whereabouts. On the morning of Sun
day, May ~, following cow-path,
she came to a deserted cabin. The
sound OF cow-bell fell upon her ear,
and. pushing onward with all the
| strength she could summon she at last
reached the river, and was rejo;ced to
find herself opposite the block house at
Six Mile Island. Three men saw her
and came over with a canoe. and Massey
HARRISON, after six days of exposure,
wandering and hunger was at last
among friends. ~
She was so changed by the horrors
which she had endured that her neigh
bors did not at first recognize her. But
careful nursing brought both the moth
er and child back to life and health.
She was taken to Pittsburg and there
met her husband. who had
mourned her as dead. The child that
she carried in her arms grew to mans
estate and lived to the age of eighty
eight years. He was named John,
after his father.

Women With Bad Figures.

Mrs. Jenness Miller, who is trying to
reform woman's dress, is very handsome
and perfect specimen of the healthful-
ness of the system she advocates. In
conversation with New York Mail and
Express reporter, the other day, she told
some curious facts about the physical
deformity of her sex, caused by the cor
set and other methods that the Nine
teenth century calls fashion. She
said:
Il was in Turkish bathroom not
long ago, and noticed the physical ap-
pearance of some forty or fifty fashion
able women-young, middle-aged and
old. Out of that lumber did not see
4 perfect-shaped figure. Those who
were young doubtless inherited their
physical deficiencies, and were assisting
to further mar their Unnatural proper
tons by wearing corsets. Men do not
dream that such malformation exists
among the women, but picture them
from the Elusive idea conveyed by see
ing them dressed in the extreme of
fashion.
Some of these women had small waists
others had crampt, pinched feet, and
the majority were suffering from the
torturing PRACTICE of tight lacing- None
of them moved around with free and
easy tread and buoyant elasticity. They
were slow and sluggish in their move
ments, and evidently ayerse to any
kind of exertion beyond the mere neces-
sity of walking. I was surprised, for [
thought that some women were so strong
and robust that naturally they would
escape the curse of fashions DEGREES.
Reclining on couch after a bath 1 heard
a young lady next to me exclaim that
she would not marry Mr. So-and-So be-
cause he was not robust. Then in the
next sentence she said she suffered
from asthma, and was somewhat sub
ject to hysteria. l turned over and
gazed at the woman who didn't want
to marry man because he was not
apparently strong. She was very pale,.
thin, and delicate looking, the very
woman a man would not care to select
for wife, unless he wanted to. start a
hospital at home.'

Mrs. Carberry's Years Work.

Some weeks ago, says the Niles (Mich.)
Democrat, we promised, if possible, to,
obtain an account of the work done by
one of our Michigan ladies in one year.
This lady is Mrs. Catherine Carberry,
and the record from fall of 1885 to fall
of 1886 is substantially as follows, in
her own concise languages:
"Shelled ffty-five bushels of corn and
put it in the bin. Got home $500 pounds
of coal and put it in the bin. Trimmed
eighty rods of fence and burned most
of the brush. Sheared eight sheep.
Dropped eleven acres of corn and
helped cover it. Worked three acres of
corn, plowed it five times, and hoed it
once. Topped it and hauled the fodder
to the barn, where my husband. sc years,
husked it. 1t made 1O5 bushels in the
ear. I gathered my pumpkins and
dug my potatoes and got fifteen cords of
wood in the shed and piled it up.
Gathered my apples and put them in the
cellar. Took my cider apples to the
mill and brought back five barrels of
cider. Took one load to the cider-mill
and sold them. I spaded up the ground
and planted and worked my garden.
Moved twenty rods of rail fence and
helped move twenty more. cut and
made my husband one coat, and cut
and made vest and pants and four
shirts and hemmed three pocket hand
kerchiefs for him.
Made myself six dresses (three nice
ones and three common ones), nine
aprons, one polonaise, eight pair of pill
low-cases. four sheets, and hemmed
twelve napkins. There are 923 pages
in the Old Testament, and I read 619
pages besides religious and other pa
pers, and kept dairy of the weather
and my work, and an account of what
we bought and sold, with day and
date. Did my homework and took
care of my stock-three horses, three
head of cattle, eight cheep, and fifty
hens--and raised pet cat"
Mrs. Carberry is Ga years of age and
weighs but ninety-tive pounds. She
retires each night at 10 o'clock and
rises at 4 o'clock each morning, and
takes no maps between times In adj
dition to the above she has taken care
of an invalid husband and done many
things unmentioncd in this account,
and among them we may mention that
she has taken and paid for in advance
the local papers and has honorably
paid every cent for everything she
has bought. This is woman's work,
and the record is sufficiently commend
able to make many a man blush for
for shame. Few there are who have so
fully followed the admonition, "What-
soeyer he saith unto you, do it."

1t is said that Dakota has at least one news
paper to every 1900 inhabitants, and the nee
essary conclusion Is that either some OF the
people, men, women and children are SUBJ
scribers to gsodly number of territorial
papers, or that many OF the news dlsseminators
have pretty small bona hle circulation. In
case Of til" latter, the publishing Of land and
legal notices, principally the former, pay for
patent matter, and the 'ads." pay for their
own setting, and the people OF the town who
believe the paper is booming it, through sub
scriptions, pay for the paper stock. Before
many years, so many land notices as las been
necessary to publish, will cease. The follow

Chinook Winds.

Mr.. Nimmo, ex-chief OF tho beaureau Of
statistics, has been making careful study Of
the arid regions Of the West, with the inten-
ton Of writing book on this subject. He
finds some very interesting features and some
that will prove valuable to business interests
One Of the especially Interesting features Of tho
far northwest, he says, are what are called their
'Chinook winds" They are warm winds
that come from the west into Montana, and
sometimes reach as far east as Dakota. "These
winds" the professor said, talking to your cor
respondent, "come from the Pacific coast. As
rule the air from the Pacific coast does not
pass over the Rocky mountains in large quan-
titles. The air is good deal warmer on the
western coast, as everybody knows. It is
warmed by the warm stream Of water flowing
northwest along the coast. Occasionally solne
Of this warm wave gets over the crest Of the
m0untains aud it gets into Montana where the
Arctic atmosphere prevails. Sometimes 1t ex-
tends across Montana into Dakota. They
make wonderful and almost instantaneous
changes in the temperature of that section.
Often when The Missouri river is frozen to a
depth of two feet or more, this wave melts the
snow, and filling the rivor with water, causes
the ice to broak up and rush down the river at
wonderful rate 1t keeps on down the river
until 1t passes the section affected by these
warm waves. Then 1t finds its passage OBJ
structed by the solid ice which has not been
affected by the melting snow, and the result is
that the run Of ice is checked, the great blocks
which come pouring from above pile up In
great masses as high as two or three.story
house, and cover an immense section along
the river. No railroad bridge could Withstand
the power Of such mass Of ice. 1t would
sweep away the most strongly constructed
bridge that could be Cincinnati. Times

AN EXPERIMENTAL STATION.
BEILEvYR1A, D. r, Jauuary 25. 1sS,

bELLEVYRIA, d. T., January Is, 1887.
Editor Hope Pioneer:
Farming here is SO different from that at th,
East that the methods used there will not, as ,
whole, do for us. The Oldest settlers have
been here only a few years, and, because 0,
our ignorance Of the best methods to be EN-.
ployed. many experiments must be made be.
fore the best can be discovered, and these OK.
pelimenta must often prove expensive and
even disastrous to the farmer who depends for
help In making start In this new country
upon the crops with which he is experiment
ing. New grains and seeds Of all kinds are
continually being introduced, many Of which
Will be "found wanting" but some will prove
themselves really better than those we are now
growing. These seeds must be thoroughly
tested. that we may know which are the hest
and whether they-lneet the requirements Of
our soil and climate. There Is great differ
ence Of opinion as to the amount of seed that
will bring the largest returns. If one bushel
OF wheat will do as we'll as-or, as some claim,
better, than--one and half bushels there
would be great saving to each Of us In seed.
We would have so many more bushels Of grain
to sell and could replcnish our depleted purses
to that extent
II we are now raising just about enough
buOhels per acre to pay expenses, an improved
method Of culture that will add four, five or
more bushels to the yield will be clear profit.
II the crop costs all we get out Of it, we are
only making living, but anything beyond
that is something laid up fora rainy day.
Shall We sow the seed deep or ehallow? Does
broadcast sowing or drilling yield the best re-
sultsP Does rolling pay? and once or twice,
and when? How about deep blowing, etc.
What kinds Of stock are the most profitable
and what feed is most economical?
With small returns for farm products, all
these questions must be answered il We ara to
farm with profit. We must have the best seed,
must grow our crops by the most economical
methods, and those that will produce the larg-
est yield, These questions can only be decided
by the most accurate and painstaking expert
ments, requiring such care as few Of us have
time to employ ard possess special fitness for
the task. Therefore exists the great need for
an experimental station somewhere In our VI
cinity, as proposed in the bill just introduced
into our territorial Legislature. 1t is a matter
Of great Importance and one in which we
should take great interest. Let us, then, not
regard 1t as an unnecessary expense, a mere
waste Of money and an additional burden to
the taxpayers, but give 1t our hearty support,
and hail it as blessing to all. May it speedily
become law. w. E. BOISE.
